In August, and again in September, we spread the word about the hazards of mountaintop removal coal mining on the University of Delaware’s Newark campus with the University of Delaware’s Students for the Environment (S4E) and the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT).

The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club thanks Representative Carney for co-sponsoring HR 1375, the Clean Water Protection Act.

Mountaintop removal coal mining is a devastating form of energy extraction. Removing the tops of entire mountains with explosives and heavy machinery destroys valuable ecosystems in the pursuit of fossil fuels that further contribute to environmental decline and climate change.
